Hi Jackie,
I want to be in your zone, but I’m not, so I’ll just enjoy your lovely blooms there. I love your pineapple sage. Mine only got a few blooms before the frost got it.

Us cold climate folks will live vicariously through you warm climate folks for the winter. I know it will help get through the long wait until spring. I don’t have anything for blooms day unless people want to see bare trees and brown or cut down flowers. Oh well, at least we have pretty snow storms. Have a great day. Your flowers and garden look great!
